What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #3700

Good Day BAs and thanks @Ozzylizard for getting us off on the right track this morning. Lovely walk with dogs, 66° and sunny, taking my coffee break before cleaning the kitchen - BCBS (2017):



Bottled 9/7/17. Poured at 55°. Nose initially was a little fruity, but as beer continues to warm, the chocolate and bourbon take center stage. Slight oxidation. Still, a great breakfast beer as I try to drink the older beers in my cellar to make room for new arrivals later this week.

Cheers and have a great day y’all!

 

Thanks for opening the bar this morning @Ozzylizard ! Three bangers to open the thread, so I'm pulling out this one.

Bourbon County Brand Coffee Stout (Vintage 2022)



This is the last approximate 9 oz of the 16.9 oz bottle opened Monday for my side-by-side review vs. Willittized. The light carbonation held up perfectly over two additional days capped in my refrigerator as has the nice aroma and taste.

Hoping to come across these via draft (or super discounted clearance sale) down the road. May return with a second beer later today, since this pour is just over a half bottle.

@dcotom - Are you planning on performing your WBAYDN Advent / Christmas Celebration posts this year? Hope the answer is in the affirmative.

That Spirit of Christmas

 

G'day all!

It has been aboot 4 years since I drank this and at the time, I was not a fan. It's tasting pretty good this time around. There's some kind of "code" on the top of the cage:



Anyone out there with the proper decoder ring?

Prost!

Edit: Ha! When I said that I was not a fan, I meant the regular Quad 9000, not this, the Calvados barrel aged one.

 

Drinking Founders 4 Giants And The Haze Of Destiny.

 

Drinking Utopias BA World Wide Stout. I heard it was a big beer morning. When I met Sam from Dogfish Head a while back, he asked me if I was going to age this? I said nope

 

Hoegaarden Wheat Beer. I'm doing an advent calendar beer thing. This is a pretty good wheat beer. Love unfiltered beer.

 

Zaftig - Sticky Bunz "Pastry Stout" (16oz can).. cheers!

 

Drinking light for lunch, and finishing off my fest biers - Ayinger’s Oktober Fest-Märzen:



Malty goodness! Cheers y’all!

 

Hey BA's

Whoa, hard to imagine it has been 81 years since the Pearl Harbor attack on this day in 1941...cheers to those who served in WWII and to those who lost their lives that fateful day....

Speaking of "big beers" - picked this up in a 4 pk Tuesday, that I am pretty sure was "mis-marked" at $9.89 for a 4 pk....awesome beer!



Emma and I did a nice 4 mile foggy misty hike on the Ohio + Erie Canal Towpath Trail close to home....pretty industrialized section, but still cool to walk!

Drinking Edmund Fitzgerald Porter, currently my favorite porter. It’s currently 57°

 

Very much enjoyed my Goose Island poured into a Revolution glass. Time to flip the script with one of my three favorite Illinois year-round IPAs, this one the "Grandaddy of them all" at 10 years canned and counting,
